To echo: do not cite anything you have not at least skimmed and can verify it really exists and says what you say it says (or is about what you say it is about). Even if you collect citations from others' work (a legit practice), CHECK THEM.

Apple nuking a customer's account over a bad gift card is a warning for everyone

Tens of thousands gather for London anti-immigration rally and counter protest
Tens of thousands of anti-immigration protesters marched in London Saturday at a rally organised by far-right figure Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, popularly known as Tommy Robinson. The "Unite the Kingdom" march will face off against a rival "Stand Up to Racism" counter protest.

Federal agencies are sharing data even when they’re not supposed to, EFF’s @cooperq.com told @kqednews.kqed.org. “Even if you personally are not concerned about ICE… it should be concerning to anybody. This is going to be used to further dragnet surveillance.” www.kqed.org/news/120556...

How ICE Is Using Your Data — and What You Can Do About It | KQED
ICE’s reach may get even wider due to a new partnership with a spyware company. But there have always been tools at the immigration agency’s disposal. KQED speaks to privacy advocates on what people should know about ICE’s access to their personal data.

Hey Firefox users.
Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

A warning to people with Academia.edu accounts (as most academics do): if you don't know it yet, they've turned into AI shills. As well as this "podcast", they've also tried to sell me AI-compiled bibliographies. You can go to settings and opt out easily, and I recommend you do.
Screengrab of an email from Academia.edu, saying "listen to an AI podcast of your paper" and containing a link to a short audio file of my paper on colonialism and postcolonialism in the Cartmel and Davies eras of Doctor Who. This is a 10,000 word paper, you can't do a 5-minute podcast on it that makes any sense.

LLMs just scoop up information, factual or not and regurgitate it. That's not in any way thinking. The more you rely on this stuff, the less critical thinking you do for yourself. AI server centers are also incredibly harmful to the environment and expensive to run.
